New v6 on the horizon (all aluminum, variable valve timing, etc.)
http://www.ai-online.com/ppp_detail.asp?id=179
Lots of interesting features:
Variable valve timing, 4 valves per cylinder
Aluminum block, aluminum heads, 6 bolt main caps
Dualstage variable manifold. A valve in the manifold changes the plenum volume available for resonance tuning of the inlet flow path. When the valve is shut, the cylinders feed from two separate plenums. In this mode the system boosts cylinder charging in the low- to midspeed range. At higher engine speeds, the valve opens and the cylinders all feed from a common larger plenum.
90 percent of the 252 lbs-ft. peak torque is available across a broad operating range, from 1,600 to 5,800 rpm
GM says the output of the most powerful variant of the new engine family will exceed 370 hp, with torque in excess of 350 lbs.-ft.
